connecticut's chief medical examiner, dr. wayne carver, called the crime scene the worst he had ever witnessed. >> i have been at this for a third of a century, and my sensibilities may not be the average man, but this probably is the worst i have seen or the worst that i know of any of my colleagues having seen. we did not bring the bodies in the families into contact. we took pictures of them, other facial features. it is easier on the families when you do that. >> the first of the fuel services for the newtown victims begin today, with more of follow throughout the week. at a vigil sunday night, president obama vowed unspecified action to curb gun violence in the united states. >> in the coming weeks i'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens from law-enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this. because what choice do we have? we cannot accept events like this as routine. are we really prepared to say we are powerl
